For germanium-doped quartz of 1.55, the high-refractive-index columns 3 are distributed in a regular hexagonal lattice, and the distance between two adjacent high-refractive-index columns 3 is 15um; the working wavelength of this microstructure-clad single crystal fiber is 1550nm.

[0029] Due to the existence of high refractive index columns 3 distributed in a regular hexagonal lattice, the equivalent refractive index of the cladding (referring to the part of the microstructure cladding single crystal fiber except the core) is between the refractive index of pure silica material and germanium-doped silica Between the refractive indices, the difference between the equivalent refractive index of the cladding and t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a microstructure cladding monocrystalline optical fiber and a preparation method, which belong to the field of special optical fibers. The microstructure cladding monocrystalline optical fiber is characterized by comprising a fiber core and a microstructure cladding, wherein the microstructure cladding is encircled around the fiber core. In the invention, the microstructure cladding monocrystalline fiber is prepared by adopting a tube bundle stacking step, a heating drawing step and the like. The microstructure cladding monocrystalline optical fiber disclosed by the invention has the beneficial effects that (1) the inhibiting ability of the monocrystalline optical fiber on the high-order mode of a light beam can be controlled through changing materials; (2) the application is wide, and the monocrystalline fiber core-cladding can be made of different materials; and (3) the manufacturing time is short, and the yield is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of special optical fibers, in particular to a microstructure-clad single-crystal optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, single crystal optical fiber is mainly grown by wire drawing of crystal material, which has the dual characteristics of crystal and fiber. Single crystal optical fiber has the characteristics of high strength and high temperature resistance, and can be used in a wide range of fields such as conduction, sensing, frequency doubling, and holographic data storage. However, due to the high refractive index of the crystal, it is difficult to make a single crystal fiber into a core-cladding structure, and the existing single crystal fiber is usually a cladding-free structure. The single crystal optical fiber with no cladding structure has a large transmission loss, its characteristics are easily affected by environmental changes, and the integrity of the o...
